The little brat was in trouble, and he couldn't argue with a child at a time like this, but Shang Lin still gritted his teeth and smiled, "Thank you!" while continuing to channel spiritual energy.
About five minutes later, Fan Mingyu slowly stood up, but Shang Lin still held his arm, afraid that he would get dizzy and fall again. At the same time, she did not forget to remind him, "Slow down, you are still very weak."
As his body recovered a bit and his mind gradually returned to normal, Fan Mingyu suddenly grabbed Shang Lin's arm and said with extreme anxiety, "Shang Lin, I saw a dark mass rushing towards me. At first, it seemed like something blocked me, but when it rushed towards me again, it felt like I wasn't myself anymore."
After saying that, he subconsciously looked around. "Holy crap, where am I? How did I end up here? Wait a minute, isn't this a new development zone? Oh my god, this is so far from our school..."
"Don't get excited, calm down." Shang Lin hurriedly interrupted Fan Mingyu. "It was all the work of evil spirits. You're fine now, but there will be aftereffects. You'll need to rest for a few days."
Shang Lin's voice seemed to have a calming power, and Fan Mingyu slowly calmed down. "The development zone isn't even open to traffic yet. How are we going to get back?"
"You're really adaptable! No wonder you're a disciple of the Yuntai Sect." Shang Lin smiled with satisfaction. "Don't worry, your senior brothers are here."
Fan Mingyu subconsciously looked around. "Where? I can't see a single person."
Shang Lin pointed to the ground, "Underground, they're helping you get revenge. We'll have to wait for them for a while."
Fan Mingyu, “…”
After a long pause, he asked, "Do I, we, need to, go down and help?"
Shang Lin immediately smiled and said, "Do you think you still have the strength to fight?" Besides, that wouldn't be a real fight, because it would require not only physical strength but also spiritual power.
Fan Mingyu, “…”
Why do I suddenly find Shang Lin a bit annoying? Don't hit someone in the face, and don't speak ill of them, okay? However, "Is our sect really that powerful? I saw those things when I was alone."
Shang Lin considered for a moment before answering, "It's not a matter of being good or bad. I can only say that our current strength is entirely due to the contrast with our opponents."
Fan Mingyu responded with three consecutive "..."
I suspect you're showing off, but I have no proof.
If Fan Mingyu told Shang Lin this, the other party would definitely tell him, "I'm not bragging, because this is absolutely the truth. After all, there are always people better than you, and there are always immortals better than you."
About five minutes later, Shang Lin suddenly received a call from She Jinxing, "Sect Master, you need to come over. Chi Xie has gone to relieve you."
"Okay." Shang Lin put away his phone and immediately said to Fan Mingyu, "Wait for me here."
"Where are you going? Down there?" Fan Mingyu asked with great concern, "Won't there be any danger?"
He knew his current physical condition; let alone facing those monsters, he could barely walk a few steps. So he decided against saying anything that would only cause trouble and slow him down, like "I'll go with you."
Shang Lin smiled confidently, "Of course not, I am the sect leader."
"……All right!"
Red Scorpion quickly jumped up and, upon seeing Shang Lin, said, "The last big guy is locked in a stalemate with us. Although it's badly injured, it seems to be desperately guarding something."
"You stay with Mingyu, I'll go down and take a look."
“…Hmm.” Red Scorpion responded very reluctantly, but Shang Lin had already jumped down.
Whether it was due to the darkness of the surrounding environment or the evil aura in the sewers, Shang Lin's eyes turned into golden beastly pupils again.
He ran at an astonishing speed and had exceptionally keen senses, easily determining the direction of She Jinxing and Changfeng without relying on their contract of service, though he himself was completely unaware of it.
In the darkness, She Jinxing and Changfeng were confronting a large creature that looked like a giant bat but was actually quite strange. Although it was covered in wounds and looked like it could die at any moment, it didn't budge an inch, clearly protecting something behind it.
But when Shang Lin appeared, it was clearly stunned for a moment, and then it seemed that all its vitality collapsed in that instant, and the whole thing collapsed to the ground and died in no time.
Shang Lin, "..."
I was a little dumbfounded. Did it die because of my appearance? Or had it been holding on all along and just happened to collapse at this moment?
After the strange-looking thing fell down, the thing it had been protecting behind it appeared in front of Shang Lin and the others. It turned out to be a small sapling, about the same size as Green Yao's usual size.
However, this tiny sapling, with barely any leaves, exuded a faint spiritual aura. Shang Lin stepped forward to examine it closely, and then heard She Jinxing ask, "What kind of sapling is this? Is it also a sentient demonic plant?"
Shang Lin answered very honestly, "It's so small, I can't tell what kind of plant it is. How about I show it to Lü Yao?"
She Jinxing also stepped forward and looked at it carefully. "Let's call out the Divine Lord as well. He's knowledgeable and might know the answer."
Shang Lin's original intention was to put the sapling into the Dragon Spirit Tower and let Lü Yao take a look. Judging from She Jinxing's words, he wanted to call out Lü Yao and the Divine Lord to see what it was.
Could it be that the little snake is worried about...?
What threat will this tiny sapling pose to the Dragon Spirit Tower, or to everyone inside it?
Well, that's certainly a possibility, after all, there's the precedent of Green One!
They're both small plants, and they both look adorably clumsy, but if you trigger some kind of "trigger" and they grow wildly, unleashing a rain of flying knives...
Haha, that's it, we're doomed!
So Shang Lin summoned Shenjun and Lüyao, pointed to the sapling and asked them, "Do you recognize what kind of plant this is?"
The deity immediately went to look at the sapling, but Green Jade's attention was completely drawn to the fallen monster. It jumped onto the monster's back and said to Shang Lin, "Okay, fertilizer."
The marginalized sword spirit, Longblade, "..."
Who am I? Where am I? Why are everyone in the Yuntai Sect so strange? Do they use demonic beasts as fertilizer? The next second, Shang Lin said, "Okay."
Changfeng was once again speechless with shock. Compared to the group of "monsters" from the Yuntai Sect, the monster lying dead on the ground was not so strange after all.
However, what shocked Changfeng even more was yet to come, because Shang Lin said to Lü Yao, "Go and see if there's anything else that can be used as fertilizer, and move it into the Dragon Spirit Tower."
Green One immediately cheered, "Yay!"
The next second, his body "whooshed" into the darkness.
